Morning Break Bible Study Mission Covenant Church

In Lesson 6 of our study of Gideon, we take an up close and personal look at the topic of idolatry - the things in our lives that we place ahead of God. Focusing on the latter part of Gideon's life, we wrestle with the challenging question: "Who or what has authority in my life?"

Lesson 5 shows us a picture of Gideon moving from a position of victory to a pattern of behavior filled with confusion, anger, and revenge against his enemies. Instead of relying on God, he returns to many of his old habits. His life becomes an example to us to keep our focus on God as we face the enemy.

Join us in this fourth lesson of our Gideon series as we take a deeper look at what Gideon's story, as well as the Bible as a whole, shows us about requesting signs from God. As we examine three different occasions in which Gideon received signs from the Lord - twice where Gideon asks the Lord for a sign and once where God freely offers him one without request - we get to see what these situations reveal about Gideon and his faith as well as what they reveal about our gracious and patient God.

Lesson 3 reminds us of the importance of focusing our hearts and minds on God. Just as God called Gideon and empowered him, so he calls and empowers us by his Holy Spirit to focus on Him as we stand against the enemy.

In the second lesson of this Gideon series, we are introduced to Gideon and his circumstances. The Angel of the Lord appears to him while he is fearfully threshing wheat in a winepress. We look at this first encounter Gideon has with the Lord, how the Lord calls Gideon to a new identity, and then how the Lord calls him to live out his new identity. This week’s lesson shows us that God is a good and faithful Father who can use us mightily for his Kingdom work despite our weaknesses, shortcomings, and insecurities.

In the first lesson when Gideon's story begins in Judges 6, we see God's people living in fear and poverty; their nomadic neighbors, the Midianites, have invaded their land and destroyed their homes, crops, and cattle.

As they cried out to God for deliverance, we learn the reason for Israel's sad situation:  The people did evil in the eyes of the Lord; Instead of obeying God, they did not listen to him.

This week's lesson traces God's promises to Israel and the consequences of their failure to follow him. Their behavior is a reminder of our own failure to obey God.
